The work has. been done through committees named in each state. ‘Selection’ of 21,009 physicians has been completed, and the men have been given application blanks which they have-been asked to file with the surgeons general. Mr. Gifford's = Teport . emphasises the work of an inter-departmental committes whose purpose is to . pre. vent duplication of war work in:the various government departments. The couneil has in the Naval Con- sulting board ‘a board of inventions, ‘which just now is investigating to combat the submarine. The is headed by Thomas A. Edison and numbers among its members some of | the country's most noted . sclentists and inventors. A Commercial 'Bconomy ' board, with A. W. Shaw as {ts chairman, is tt\ldy‘ln‘ means by which commerclal usinéss may best meet demands made on it during the war, and how large quantities of supplies may be diverted to; government use without upsetting the essential service of trade. This board is studying a plan to economise on city delivery sys- tems and is ifivestigating measures of economy for adaption by retail stores. The coal prablem is in:the hands of a committes on coal production, headed by F. 8. Peabody of Chicago. It is assisting the War Railroad board in expediting the movement of coal and is taking measures to stimulate production. A women’s defense committes ~was created in April with Dr. Anna How- ard Shaw as its chairman. Its activi- ties wilk be directed Ihfll the follow- ‘ing Nnes:. . Organization of mto commiittees, registration of women for service with the food administration, home and allfed relief work, food ' production, conservation and “thrift; educational propaganda, protection of women and child workers, conservation of the health and welfare of women, conser- vation of the moral and spiritual forces of the matfon. Sclentific research is being conduct- ed by the National Research Council The work is under the direction of Dr. George E. Hale and Dr R. A. Milll- kan. The Research Council is co- ordinating the research activities of the. country in the flelds of science and engineering. Tt is now engaged in studying devices to detect submarines and mines, investigating range finders and Instruments to detect invisible air- craft and improving wireless appara- tus. A committee on shipping is work- ing with the Shipping Board on the problem of increasing the ' country's merchant tonnage. $ The work of state defense councils is co-ordinated through a department headed by George F. Porter. assisted in organising state councils and is giving them advice as to what the Federal government expects of the states 'in qfllflu.in the conduct of the war. Truupomflnn questions are studied by a, committee on - transportation. Daniel Willlard, president of the Bal- timore & Ohio Rallroad, is its chair- man. It operates through a War Rall- road Board, of which Fairfax Harri- son, president of the Southern Rail- way, is head. This board is running the various transportation lines as one continental system. The Raliroad Board has given pref- erence to fuel and is moving coal ahead of all other commodities. Food probably will be the next commodity given preferential shipment. Coal is moved in this order: fuel for the gov- ernment, for the roads on which mines are located, for other steam roads and finally for general pur- poset The committee recommended the personnel of the ralroad oOom- mission now in Russia. It is engaged in discontinuing passenger: trains not conisidered essential and expects’ to digcourage conventions and other meetings that would require unusunal train service. Other accomplishments of the rail- road board are given as follows: “Enlistment of nine regiments of engineers to rehabilitate the French raflway systems: an arrangement for moving coal to the Pacific Coast in box cars to prevent an uneconomical haul back; expeditious movement of food products.’” Telephone and telégraph commit- tees of the Council haye arranged a system of co-operation between the wire companies and the government. Government calls are given . prefer- ence. Much army and navy purchasing has been done by the committee on supplies, of which Julius Rosenwald of Chicago is chairman. The com- mittee is composed of six business men chosen from different industri are giving their entire time to work. This committee is said to have saved the government millions of dollars in the purchase of supplies. All army and navy contraets, before signed, are submitted to the commit- tee for approval, and the committee in many instances has instituted new purchasing systems. Associated with the committee are a large number of subcommittees made up of experts on various commodities The committee on .raw supplies, headed by Bernard M. ' Baruch of. New York, has organized the purchase of raw materials. It saved the gov- ernment according to the report $10,- 000,000 on the purchase of a supply of copper. . ‘Samuel Gompers’ committee on la- bor is enguged in settling industrial It has disputes and maintaining existing la- bor standards. ‘The Commiitee on Industrial Pre- paredness has obtained 27,000 Qe tailed reports from the country's larg: ér manufacturing plants as to capa- city to meet the government's indus- trial and. military needs during the war. This information, the report d ‘clares, will prove invaluable in plac- ing orders for supplies. \ Engineering problems are being studied by an engineering committes under Dr. Hollis Godfre: WOMEN HISS MITCHEL; EJECTED FROM HALL One Asks Him His Jdea of Liberty; Other Calls Him “Priest /Batter.” New York, June 25.—Mayor mtuh.l arose 'to speak about 9 o'clock la#t nightiat & meeting in memory of Ma- Jor Willlam H. K. Redmond, held by the United Irish League and affiiated societies in the Casino Theater. wp sound ke escaping steam from a radiator cut through the applause. The Mayor and the others present— all uu»oud. a8 4 result of close scrut- iny at the door, to be Nationalists— focussed their gase on the front row, right'of the balcony. When it was seen that no radiator wag there, but that two determined looking women of middle age were in view, & couple of ushers and a de- tectivé or two slipped around apd sat near them. The escaping steam noise subsided with the approach of the ushers and detectives, and Mayor Mitchel began his eulogy of Major Redmond, who ‘was & brother of John Redmond, the Nationalist leader. The Major died & short time ago from wounds received at the front in France. Mr. Mitchel was just saying, 'We are fighting now for the same 1Berty for which we have struggled for 700 years,” when one of the two women in the balcony shrieked: “And do you call this liberty?” ‘The other one screamed: “Priest baiter!"” The first woman unrolled a banner with green, white and red stripes. She leaned. over the edge of the bal- cony and shook it vigorously. Mean- ‘while she and her companion shrilled incoherent remarks at the Mayor. +One of the men in plain clothes behind the woman now arose and took hold ‘of the one with the banner. She shrieked louder than ever. Mitchel called: : “Let her alone! Let her alone!” Some one else on the stage, where were Supreme Court Justice J. Ford, Chairman of the meeting: Mgr. John P. Chidwick, formerly chaplain of Maine; Father Fay and Shane Les!! said something to the Mayor that sounded like: “No, not on an ocea- sion Ilike this: “You ‘can see what they are doing to me, Mr. Mayor,” cried one of the women. ¥ “Don’t do that,” the Mavor called. “Don’t treat her roughly,” he added. For a few moments there was the sound of feet Wwiftly descending stairs, muffled and. slightly hysterical femining utterances that died gradual- 1y out in the distance, and the rustle and excited murmur and breathing of the audience as it settled back finto its seats. { AMERICAN ADMIRAL PUTS END TO MUTINY Glennon Uses Moral Suasion on Sailors of Black Sea Fieet With Good : Effect. Petrograd, June 25.—Following a visit of Rear Admiral James H. Glen- non, U. 8. N, to the Black Sea Fleet at Sebastopol, the mutiny among the sailors ceased and all now is tranquil. At the request of the sailors, Ad- miral Glennon addressed them, urg- ing a continuance of the waf with- out a cessation. He was heartily applauded. . He also addressed a general meeting of repre- sentatives of all th councils of sol- diers, sallors and workmen of Sebas- topol,' where his advocacy of renewed energy in pushing the war was well réceived. After hearing the Admiral, the ‘meeting voted, 60 to 3, to restore all the Black Sea Fleet officers, with the exception of Admiral Keltchak and his staff, who were distrusted by the sallors. The meeting, also voted to support the Provisional Govern- ment. Since then conditions with the fleet have been tranquil. Rear Admiral Glennon and his staff returned to Petrograd yesterday. The cordiality of their reception was not affected by the mutiny among the sailors, which started just before their arrival. % Admiral Edkin, who had been elected by the u.llor- and workmen to replace Admiral Koltchak in com- mand of the fleet, greeted the Ameri- cans, as did the delegates from the councils of workmn, soldiers and sailors who saccompanied him. The sallors gave exhibition drills and showed the visitors every courtesy. GFRMAN MUNITIONS BLOW P, Zurich Correspondent of Matin Learns of Fight Disasters. Paris, June 25.—Several disasters recently have occurred in munition plants in Germany, according to the Zurich correspondent of the Matin. He telegraphs he has learned from private German sources that the hand grenade arsenal at Spandau exploded on June 16 and that seven ammuni- tion shops at Marienhall were de- stroyed by fire on the - 18th. Some ammunition factorfes at Nuremberg also have been burned, aceording to this authority. Spandau is nine miles west of Ber- Hn. Large Government munition works are there. Nuremberg, rich in historic traditions, is more noted for its varied industrial plants than as & munition making center. By Marien- hall, Marienthal in Saxony may Iu meant. ¥ Mayor |’ LANSINE TELLS OF DECEIT BY BERLIN Explains “Yerge of War” State- ment an_d President’s Note ‘Washington, D. C. June 25.—The government ‘ has cleared the mystery as to the reasons for President Wil- son’s action last December in calling on ' the ‘ belligerent nations for a statement of the’.objects for which they were fighting and the declaration about the same timie Dby - Secretary Lensing to the press, indicating that this nation was on the verge of war. Stocks tumbled and thé éountry be- |- came 80 excited that in.order to allay popular apprehension that war was at hand,” Mr. Lansing, after a consulta- tion with the president, issued an ex- planatory statement' which ig the opinion .of ‘many. did' not explain all, though. it apperently had the effect of calming the country, The vell is lifted in a pamphlet issued by ‘the co ittee. on public information of which George Creel chairman, and the other members of which are the secretaries of state, ‘war, and the navy. This pamphlet is entitled “How the war came to America,” and {s an official tion of the case of the United suu- against Germany, the first full state- ment on this subject that has come from any authoritative source since the outbreak of hostilities between Germany and the United States, The course of President Wilson and his secretary of state, it°is now disclosed, was due to the discovery by this gov- ernment that the German govern- ment did not intend to live wp in good faith to the pledge given to the United States in the Sussex case that merchant vessels would not be sunk by submarines without warning or without making ' proviston for the safety of those on board. In the first pages of the pamphlet there is a review of American inter- national policy and traditions for the purpose of showing that the Wilson administration was entirely consistent in its desling with Germany on the submarine issue. Then the present War is taken up, and mention is made of the efforts of German agents to stir up feeling against the United States in Japan, South America, and among the bnn,k would have come mwmot states, “if our not been restrained by the hope that saner counsels might well prevail in Germany.” The presi- dent was also restrained, it is stated in the same authoritative way, by the Sense of responsibility of this ndjion toward the nations of Latin America, which also desired the ways of peace, and by the hope .that. by keeping aloof from the European conflict we might be free at the end of the war “to bind up the wounds of the con- Aot : These motives held us back, it is stated, but further complications came to beset the government. ‘‘We soon had reason to believe,” it is stated, “that the recent compliance of the German government (the pledge to observe. the rules civilized war- fare at sea) had not' besn made in sood faith and was only temporary, and by the end of 1918 it was plain that our neutral status had again been made unsafe through the ever in- creasing aggressiveness of the German autocracy.” Reagons For President’s Note. Then follows the explanation of the President’s reasons for his note, ask- .ing the belligerents to define their war aims and of Secretary Lansing’s statement that the United States was on tho verge.of war. The pamphlet "lt ‘was in this frame of mind, fear- ing we might bé drawn into the war if it did not soon came to an end, that the President began the prepara- \tion ‘of his note, asking the belliger- 'ent powers to define their war aims. But before he had completed it, the | world was surprised by the peace move of the German Government, an identical note on behalf of the Ger- man Empire, Austria-Hungary, Bul- garis, and Turkey, sent through neu- tral powers Dec. 12, 1916, to the Gov- ernments of the Allies proposing: ne- gotlations for peace. - While express- ing the wish to end this war—‘a catas- trophe which thousands of years of common civilisation was unable to prevent'—the greater portion of the note was couched in terms that gave small hope of a lasting peace. Boast- ing of German conquests, ‘the glorious w&- of our armies’, the note implant- ed in neutral minds the belief that it was the purpose of the Imperial Ger- man Government to insist upon such conditions as would leave all Central Europe under German dominance and #0 build up an empire which would menace the whole liberal world. “Moreover, the German proposal ‘was acoompanied by a thinly veiled threat to all neutral nations; and from & thousand sources, official and unof- ficlal, the word came to Washington that unless the neutrals used their in- fluence to bring the war to an end on terms dictated from PBerlin, Ger- many and her allies would consider themselves henceforth free from any obligations to respect the rights of neutrals. The Kaiser ordered the neu- trals to exert pressure on the En- tente to bring the war to an abrupt end, or to beware of the consequences. Clear warnings were brought to our Government that if the German peace move should not be sucessful, the sub- marines would be unleashed for & more intense and ruthless war upon all commerce. “On the 18th of December the Pres- ident dispatched his note to all the Dbelligerent powers, asking them to de- fine their war aims. There was still hope in our minds that the mutual suspicions between the warring pow- ers might be decreased and the men- ace of future German aggression and dominance be removed, by finding & guaranty of good faith in a leagus of nations. There was a chance that by creation of such a league as pert of the peace negotiations, the war could ‘DA{LY~ HERALD MONDAY JUNE zs; 1917 be brought to an m( defore our na- tion was invoived. Two statements is- sued to the. press by our soemrv °¢ Btaté on the day the note was patched threw a clear light on uue l-- £ riousness with which our Government viewed the crisis. “From this point events moved rap- idly. The powers of the Entente re- pled to the German peace note. Neu- tral natlons took action om the note of the President, and from both bellig- erents replies to this note were soon in our hands.” It is deciared that the German re- ply was evasive in that Germany and her allies retused to state their terms and ‘merely proposed . & conference, whils the response of the Entente pow- ers was “frank and in hu.rmony with our pflnnlpll purpose.” EX-KING’'S BROTHERS .

Constantine’s only sister, Princess Marie, is the wife of Granl Duke George Michailovitch of Russia and lives in Petrograd with her husband and two daughters. Gnocmm AROUSED, oueatnmvn.mmm the Retail Business. - More than 100 men engaged in the rétall grocery business met at the Hotel Beloin yesterday afternoon to discuss what they claimed to' be per- tinent subjects, principally, it is said, concerning the action of the several factories in organizing stores-for the benéfit of their employes. It is un- derstood that the grocers object to these co-operative stores, backed by the manufacturers, where employes can obtain goods at a very small per- centage over actual cost. On Thursday night the grocers will hold ‘another meeting. Edward X. Callahan and Morris Cohn being named as a committee to make 'ar- rangements. SPENCER IS DISQUALIFTED. Loses Chance to Olinch National Cycling Title. Newark, N. J., June 325.—Arthur Spencer, the Taronto youth, "lost a chance to win the national cycling championship when he was disquali- fled in his heat of the one mile titular race here yesterday afternoon for switching Bob Spears. - Alfred Goullet won the title race, beating Bob Spears in the heat to decide nm and second places. Frank Krameér nipped Francisco Verri at the tape in the race to decide third and faurth honors.

DUNDEE. - New York, June 25.—The leading bout of the present week is be- tween Johnny Dundee and Willle Jackson at the St. Nicholas A. C. next Friday night. Dundee has been anx- fous for the meeting because of a natural desire fo prove the firat round knockout scored by Jackson at Philadelphia was not conclusive as to their ' respective merits. Jackson's stoppage of Chick Simler seems to in- dicate that he is classy. No matter what the outcome, there should be much action in the contest. " GIANTS WANT SWIGLER. Philadelphia, June 25.—Adam W.
